Farah Khan joins the cast of Sunil Grover’s comeback show Kanpur Wale Khuranas

Last seen in the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed comedy-drama Pataakha (2018), ace comedian Sunil Grover is set to make his comeback on small screen with the upcoming Star Plus show, Kanpur Wale Khuranas produced by sisters Preeti and Neeti Simoes.

The promos of the show are already out on the channel, where we see that besides Sunil Grover, Kanpur Wale Khuranas also features Sugandha Mishra, Ali Asgar, Upasana Singh, Adaa Khan and Aparshakti Khurana.


The latest we hear that the makers have roped in yet another powerful name to the cast of the show. Yes, we are talking about choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah Khan who has just joined the cast of the much-awaited Star Plus show.

When Farah was contacted, she confirmed the news, saying, “I’ve done a lot of shows with Preeti and Neeti. They were the creative director of Comedy Nights with Kapil and I’ve been on that show many times. They are familiar with my comic timing and repartee and have been asking me to be a part of this show for a long time. We finalised it only recently. I’m playing myself, my holiday home is opposite the Khuranas’ and a lot of celebrities who drop by to visit me end up going to their house. All my favourite comic actors like Sunil, Upasana, Sugandha, Ali and Aparshakti are there, so I’m getting paid to laugh.”

Starting date of Kanpur Wale Khuranas is yet to be announced by the channel.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
